Daniel, the problem is that you're nesting <p> tags, which is not allowed:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h-9.3.1
Load your page in Firefox and use either the DOM Inspector, View Source
Chart, or FireBug extensions, and you will see how the browser has
interpreted your HTML. The <a> elements in question are not inside a <p>
element at all.
Also try validating your page here:
